Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007--White space

Did you know...

Microsoft 2003 and 2007 will allow you to hide the white space at the top and bottom of your document?

Here is a sample of a document in Word with the bottom of one page showing and the top of the second page showing:














When you put your cursor right on the edge of either piece of paper, you get the "hide white space" option. It will look like this:









Once you have the cursor in position so you see the "Hide White Space" option, click one time and the top and margins will be hidden. Like this:











The margins are still there, they are just hidden. This view will help you align text, graphics, tables, etc. by hiding the white space temporarily. To get it back, simply click again in the same place.
